Just in case you missed it, below you will find the two performances from last night's Saturday Night Live featuring Frank Ocean as musical guest. Pretty crazy for a guy who just made his TV debut less than 4 months ago. "Thinkin' About You" "Pyramids (with John Mayer)" Kind of disappointing "Pyramids" was trimmed from its original 9-minute-plus original runtime, but what can you expect from network television?
If there is one artist who understands that timing is everything, it is Frank Ocean. After his debut on Saturday Night Live , Ocean released the official music video for "Pyramids." The Nabil -directed clip features John Mayer . Overall the video is quite random with a stylistic intro in a bar setting with "Pink Matter" playing in the background. Ocean continues his journey into the desert where he ends up in a strip club with a lady showing off her Hershey Kisses shaped nipples. John Mayer later plays the [...]
It's FINALLY here! The visuals to Frank Ocean's "Pyramids" has premiered today and we have to say, the man is a genius. Wth a special appearance from John Mayer and a good few strippers, the "Swim Good" singer really show's us his creative flair. The video was directed by Nabil, who's worked with the likes of Kanye West and Seal and the visuals are simply amazing. Frank and Nabil together is just pure genius! Take a look below!
After taking over SNL last night with John Mayer , Frank Ocean has revealed the Nabil-directed video for his track "Pyramids" . Though it's not the full nine-minute album version, it makes up for it with Frank getting wasted ( Frank the tank! Frank the tank! ) at a bar, then shooting it up, and then going for a motorbike ride int he desert to an awesome strip club. Afterwards he meets up with John Mayer who soundtracks his hallucinations with light-emitting guitar licks, [...]
Frank Ocean - Pyramids An official video's emerged this weekend for one of the many standouts on Frank Ocean 's Channel Orange - the exquisitely overblown nine minute centrepiece 'Pyramids'. Don't expect to hear the track in full in the clip below - it's a cinematic and suitably over-the-top take on the song that focuses on the track's spaced out, slow-jammed second half. We get shots of Frank on a motorcycle and looking a little hysterical in a strip club, as well as a guest appearance from Channel Orange guest John [...]
Frank Ocean è uno di quei nomi su cui puntare, un cantante che ha saputo convincere con un album decisamente valido ( qui la recensione del nostro Intweetion ) ed è stato in grado di sorprendere (o confermare) ancora una volta grazie alla sua esibizione ai Video Music Awards 2012 Thinking about you è stata interpretata con una sicurezza totale, in una scenografia essenziale ed emozionante. Applausi e recensioni ottime da tutti pubblico e addetti al lavori. Ed ecco il nuovo video del cantante, Pyramids , dalla durata [...]
Less than 24 hours after his spectacular John Mayer -assisted SNL performance , Frank Ocean unleashes the video for his first single, the 9 minute epic, Pyramids . Directed by Nabil (Director of previous Ocean visuals, Novacane and Swim Good ), We watch an intoxicated Frank, trip through a drug addled vision of the titular Pyramid strip club, before finally arriving at his special guest Shaman .

After completing a fantastic performance on SNL last night with John Mayer, which you can view below, Frank Ocean liberates the visuals for Channel Orange cut "Pyramids". First, let's take a look at the Saturday Night Live set, which featured "Thinking About You" and the better second half of "Pyramids". John Mayer shreds the guitar on the gut-wrenching tracks, as Ocean's dark tones make this the comedy show's most emotional performance to date. Now, let's make a move to the video for "Pyramids", which acts more like a [...]
If you were under the assumption Frank Ocean was going to leave Channel Orange with no visual aids to go by, just know you're not alone. This guy here did [...] The post Frank Ocean Releases "Pyramids" Video, Performs On "Saturday Night Live" appeared first on The Smoking Section .
Ok, here it is! Frank Ocean 's " Pyramids" in anticipated high definition, indecent nightclub lighting and on motorized speed. Directed by Nabil. via
As announced , John Mayer joined Frank Ocean as musical guest for last night's SNL season debut hosted by Seth McFarlane. Frank killed it! And he even took a moment to play some Tekken while his friend John was crushing an extended guitar solo. Check out last night's performances of "Thinkin Bout You" and "Pyramids" below. Channel Orange in stores now. Video: Frank Ocean & John Mayer Perform "Thinkin Bout You" & "Pyramids" On SNL |
In a year that's gone from one extreme to the other for SNL musical guests, with Lana Del Rey delivering one of the worst performances in the show's history (I'm not even going to link to it, it was that bad), we should be thankful that we have Frank Ocean to prop up the other end of that extreme. The musical man of the year contender made his debut appearance on SNL tonight in what might just cap off one of the best years [...]
Welcome to your new obsession (well, our new obsession at least). Saint Lou Lou are twin sisters who grew up between Sweden and Australia among a family of gypsetting musicians. Aside from having one of the most ideal sounding upbringings imaginable, they're incredibly talented. At just 21-years-old they exude a youthful elegance, which sounds equal parts drifting through a modern dream and 802s retro. Maybe You, the debut single from the duo, was released on the perfectly suited Kitsuné August 27th and features remixes from CFCF, Pyramid, Oxford & Le Crayon, and Miami Horror's GOOD NIGHT KEATON. They kindly [...]
Daze está de estreno!! Tras presentar el pasado mes de mayo " Foundation EP" , el productor francés con sede en Rouen regresa con EP de remixes para " New York 1984 ", tema incluido en dicho trabajo y pista creada en colaboración con el dúo Girls Is Tough donde la mexicana Denisse Salcido pone las vocales en esta adictiva y [...]
Mysterious Aussie/Swedish twin duo Saint Lou Lou managed to win me over with just one perfect little gem of downtempo dream-pop. "Maybe You" , their first and only song to date, is a sublime synth-pop ballad with an '80s-indebted 'quiet storm' vibe. It's melancholy yet hopeful, subdued yet tender. It's the kind of track you can imagine yourself hearing on the radio in the back of a taxi cab on a rainy late-summer night. In fact, I'm surprised they didn't add thunderstorm sound effects to the intro, so I guess I'll make do with an open tab [...]
Four Tet - Pink By Greg Salter Pink , a compilation of the singles that Four Tet has released over the last year with a couple of new tracks thrown in, arrived with little fanfare – just a post by Kieran Hebden to his fans and followers on his blog, and within the weeks a digital release followed. This fairly low-key process underlines that fact that Pink is largely made up of material that Four Tet fans will have already heard, but that doesn’t [...]
Electronic music producer Four Tet assembles the 123 house singles he's been sporadically releasing throughout the year, and places 'em on this new compilation, Pink . WATCH THE REVIEW
Frank Ocean 's 'Pyramids' is a great song.. so why not a bass heavy remix? A trippy intro with Frank's voice starts the track off, progressing to an unexpected drop. There's some intense synths that sound like there from a rave anthem.. then the bass drops HARD. It then progresses through a massive attack of bass that will make you move your head. Find some massive speakers to properly listen, enjoy! Frank Ocean - Pyramids (Baratone Remix) | Direct Download [...]
